Album Notes & Community Reviews

Standing alongside early releases by Kreator and Sodom, this remarkably vicious debut is a foundational pillar of the teutonic thrash metal movement. Characterized by Mike Sifringer's distinctively jagged, highly technical riffing and Marcel Schirmer's rabid vocal delivery, it injected an unprecedented level of speed and extremity into the European metal underground.
